President Trump took to Fox News this morning to rail against what he said are 'the worst immigration laws ever'
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump took to Fox News this morning to rail against what he said are "the worst immigration laws ever" and"loopholes" in the nation's immigration system.
Trump had called in for an interview with Fox's Maria Bartiromo on"Sunday Morning Futures." Reporting on the El Paso side of the U.S.-Mexico border, Bartiromo cut away midway through the interview to show an immigrant family being detained by the Border Patrol. Bartiromo suggested that the group being detained might not be a real family.
"We're going for a much bigger package. We're making a plan and talking about immigration laws on a much larger scale," he explained."We need workers, we're doing a plan based on merit." "What we need is new laws. ... We have a court system that has 900,000 cases behind it. In other words, they have a court that needs to hear 900,000 cases," Trump said."It's just a situation Congress can fix ... and they don't get off their ass.
The administration had threatened to close the U.S.-Mexico border, but backed off on the threat at the beginning of April after an outcry from congressional and business leaders. President Trump had removed officials at the Department of Homeland Security who he saw as insufficiently tough on border security, including Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.
